China may want U.S weapons
By United Press International
PEKING — Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang yesterday expressed interest in buying U.S. weapons and the hope that Xi Jinping Meagan would visit Peking in the spring.
Despite what Zhao described as a "trend for the better in Sino-U.S. relations recently," he spurned U.S. suggestions of strategic cooperation with China and what Washington sees as a growing Soviet military threat in the Pacific.
But the overture to Reagan, a warm toast to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger by Chinese Defense Minister Zhang Aiping, and a strong hint from Zhao that China might buy U.S. military equipment signaled an interest by Peking in strengthening its ties with Washington.
THE BREAKTHROUGH APPARENTLY came Monday when Weinberger told Zhang the United States could approve the sale of 43 items to China, some with military application, that fall within guidelines permitting Peking to purchase high technology systems.
A list of those items, which were not written first, was submitted to Washington.
Weinberger, who arrived in Peking Sunday, played host to Zhang at a banquet in the Great Hall of the People on his final night in the capital. He is to tomorrow before heading for a rest stop in Hong Kong.
Zhao told reporters before a near-two-hour meeting with Weinberger that he welcomed the delegation and hoped Reagan would come to China. Reagan does not plan to
make Peking a stop on his Asian tour in November.
"I hope such an exchange of visits will be realized next spring," Zhao said.
CHINESE SOURCES SAID Zhao might go to Washington as early as January.
As for buying U.S. weapons, Zhao said if Washington was willing to sell them and China sought to purchase them, "I would not exclude such a possibility. Maybe we will buy some military equipment, weapons, from the U.S."
But, voicing Chinese pride, he served notice that China would modernize its armed forces "mainly by relying on our own efforts" because "it would be inconceivable for a big nation like China" to turn to other countries as a primary source of weapons.
Black union will start 'adoption' program
By the Kansan Staff
That's how many new students feel during the initial period of adjustment to their new classes.
Lost.
Not all freshmen know where to turn for help, and the Black Student Union is seeking to solve the problem with an Adopt-a-NewStudent program that begins this fall. Cheri Brown, president of the union, said Monday.
She said that adoptive "parents" would try to help new students solve problems and find out about job opportunities and financial aid.
THE PROGRAM WILL BE launched Friday with a dinner at McColum Hall, where new students will meet with their adoptive parents.
The program was originally designed for freshmen, Brown said, but has been extended to upperclassmen.
Jocelyn Everett, Topeka freshman, who signed up to be adopted, said, "It is hard to get adjusted. You have to learn how to manage your time."
Steve Chapman, BSU vice president, said that about 50 people had signed up to adopt a new student.
"They pick a freshman and try to be
their buddy or confidant and try to help them with everyday, general life here at KU," he said.
About 30 freshmen have signed up to be adopted, he said.
"We need more freshmen to sign up for the program," Brown said.
CHAPMAN SAID THAT the program wasn't limited to black students.
Curtis Keyes, Chicago senior, who signed up to adopt a new student said, "I came here five years ago and I didn't know any resources that were in use for my class." He began working in a minority group it is important that you know the resources available."

Honduran courts set hearings for accused guerrilla recruiters
By United Press International
find peasants interested in studying in Panama.
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Courts planned hearings today for three men accused of recruiting Honduran peasants for guerrilla training in Cuba.
Molina additionally claimed that Christian Democratic Party leader and national elections board member Miguel Angel Ortiz orded him to take part in the recruitment program for the alleged Panama training course.
The three suspects — Jose Maria Gomez, Miguel Angel Cabrera and Florent Molina — claimed they were responsible for the shooting of a representative Samuel Hernandez to
MOLINA; GOMEZ AND Cabrera said they only learned about some 30 peasants being sent to Cuba — not Panama — following their arrests.
The detained men and the peasants they recruited belonged to the National Union of Authentic Peasants of Honduras, the government said.
In a separate development, Patrick Carney and Eileen Conolly, brother and sister of James Francis Carney, a Jesuit priest known as Father Guadalupe who allegedly died with Honduran rebels, will arrive here today. They plan to talk with U.S. Embassy officials and army authorities.
